Die Bedrohte Intelligenz: Die Bedeutung Der Emotionen Fa1/4r Unsere Geistige Entwicklung

"In "Die bedrohte Intelligenz," Stanley I. Greenspan argues that the study of childhood development gets off track when adults watch youngsters putting pegs in holes rather than observing their emotions. Greenspan's main point is that emotional reaction and interaction is a substantial element in the child's mental development. He demonstrates the importance of emotions not only in the child's relations with family members but also in education, socialation, conflict resolution, and the prevention of violence both between individuals and in groups. Emotions, Greenspan argues, play an imperative role in the organization of experience and affect the entire structure of a child's personality. Until educators learn how to foster the individual child's emotional growth, he maintains, they will continue to shortchange the future of our country.
Nur wenn ein Kind emotional gefordert wird, kann es Intelligenz, soziale Fahigkeiten, Selbstgefuhl und Moral entwickeln. Stanley Greenspan widerlegt uberzeugend die alte These einer Trennung von Verstand und Gefuhl. Wer die emotionale Entfaltung unserer Kinder vernachlassigt, entzieht damit der Ausbildung intellektueller Fahigkeiten die Basis.
